Very unfortunate search expression as it lists all issues that contain the three letters dde somwhere like in added …
You are right, what would be a better one?
Yes, it works, use for example
=DDE("soffice";"C:\path\filename.xlsx";"Sheet1.A1")
or if a file was already converted to ODF .ods (there’s no Calcx) then use
=DDE("soffice";"C:\path\filename.ods";"Sheet1.A1")
And please don’t scream by typing all uppercase…
